Joy

Griffin had some serious bed head this morning. His hair was just, well, jubilant.

Sleepy Boy

The day after we returned from Christmas Vacation, we headed to the grocery store to refill the pantry. G fell asleep in the car, stayed asleep as I carried him into the store and stayed asleep like this for about 20 more minutes while I grocery shopped! He must have been exhausted!

Hahaha

This photo cracks me up every time I see it.

Family pics

I don't have that many photos of me with my grandmother so I was happy to see this photo of Big Mama, Mom and me on a disc of photos that Dad sent me. I'm guessing we're in the NC mountains.

Word book

He knows most of the words in this book, although his pronunciation is still off on some of them!

Griffin knows lots of animals!

Cheese!

My little punkin

He's big enough to 'climb' trees!

Jungle Book

We bought the Jungle Book DVD this week. Griffin doesn't have the attention span to watch the whole thing but he was mesmerized by the elephant marching scene. We watched it over and over and over again.

Singing Sensation

Someone in our family is an amazing singer. I won't name names but you can see here that Griffin really enjoyed her singing. He clapped, swayed back and forth, danced, sung along, and made the sign language motion for "More" when she finished singing. It was delightful!

Garage Monkey, Part II

Griffin loves to putz around the garage when Matt is working. He's very helpful!

Future Racer or Just like Dad

Griffin was delighted to help Dad and the crew in the garage a few weekends ago. Endless fun! He found lots of nuts and bolts and hid them in nooks and crannies for Dad to find later. The race car had some problems at the track this weekend. I hope it wasn't because of an errant bit of metal Griffin hid somewhere!

The more food on your face... the more you like it?

Do you think Griffin likes peanut butter and nutella sandwiches??

Mystery vine

This gorgeous vine is in my backyard and I have no idea what it is!? Any ideas??

Million Dollar Smile

Man, I love this smile!! I wish I could get him to smile like this on command!

Cars in the spice rack

Matt and Griffin filed his Hot Wheels in the spice rack. He had just had a bath which is why he is sans pjs.

Choo choo

You can hear Griffin say "Choo choo!" here. Sorry it's so long. I'm so bummed that my editing software died on me. I guess that's what you get for a $120 video camera.

Peanut butter

Griffin tried peanut butter this weekend. He didn't like it at first but then Matt showed him how to dip his goldfish in the peanut butter. I think he ate about 1/8th of a teaspoon! Maybe it'll grow on him. He also learned to say "ME" this weekend. We were at our neighbor's pool and he kept saying "Me!" when he wanted Daddy to hand him something.

Griffin's new word and pajama races

Griffin learned to say "Go!" this weekend! You can see it here. We're playing with our makeshift race track.

Memorial Day

Our neighborhood had a Memorial Day parade. Griffin enjoyed his friends, Abby and Ava, and the neighbor's rabbit. In a stroller. Yes, I said a rabbit. In a stroller.
